Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for dip coating articles, in particular vehicle bodies, having
  • the skids used are substantially inherently rigid constructions in which the vehicle body placed thereon cannot move in relation to the basic frame.
  • the platforms of the turning stations on which the skids having the vehicle bodies are placed are connected to the rotational axle of the respective turning station by way of relatively long guide rods. This is required in order to bring the vehicle bodies actually below the level of the treatment liquid in the dip tank on turning through 180°, since the rotational axle itself is to be outside the treatment liquid.
  • the height at which the vehicle body is located within the turning station is relatively great, which is reflected in a corresponding height level in the transport systems that guide them into position and away therefrom.
  • a height of this kind is undesirable, in particular in the upstream and downstream parts of the system through which the vehicle bodies are to be guided on the same skids.
  • the concept of conventional skids namely to fasten the vehicle body to the basic frame of the skid completely rigidly and immovably, is abandoned.
  • the article is given the freedom to move in a fully defined way in relation to the basic frame of the skid under the effect of gravity, and where appropriate also under the effect of an active drive, during the turning movement in the turning station.
  • Gravity or the drive device ensure that the article is brought as close as possible to the basic frame of the skid in the position raised from dipping, in which it is above the rotational axle.
  • the degree of freedom afforded to the fastening device becomes more significant and allows gravity to draw the article away from the basic frame.
  • the fastening device has a retaining structure for the article, on which at least two pivotal arms are articulated at one end and are connected in articulated manner at their other end to the basic frame of the skid such that a parallelogram guidance of the retaining structure in relation to the basic frame is produced.
  • the pivotal arms in the condition raised from dipping the pivotal arms form an acute angle with the basic frame of the skid, and during turning of the turning platform this angle becomes progressively wider and attains a value of 90° once turning through 180° has been performed.
  • the retaining structure may be connected to the basic frame by way of a scissor arrangement or indeed a telescopic device.
  • the scissor arrangement or telescopic device also permits the retaining structure and hence the article to move in relation to the basic frame under the effect of gravity in certain turning positions of the turning platform.
  • the skids have rollers which cooperate with guide rails on the turning platform of the turning station.
  • the skids may be used unchanged in all regions of the system where they are moved using conventional transport systems.
  • their rollers come into operation and can move in the guide rails of the turning platform.
  • Simple slide devices may be used to move the skids up onto the turning platform and down therefrom.
  • the fastening device has a damping device which decelerates the gravity-effected movement of the article in relation to the basic frame of the skid. In this way, the speed at which the article moves in relation to the basic frame under the effect of gravity can be limited to the desired amount.

  • FIG. 12 shows, in perspective, the mounting frame without the vehicle body
  • FIG. 13 shows various phases of turning as a vehicle body is dipped into a paint tank.
  • the system for electrophoretic dip coating vehicle bodies should be understood as an example of a system for dip treating vehicle bodies.
  • a system for dip treating vehicle bodies As its main component, it includes a dip tank 2 which in the condition ready for operation is filled with paint up to a certain level.
  • the vehicle bodies 3 to be painted are guided through the system 1 from left to right, as seen in FIG. 1 , with the aid of a transport system 4 .
  • the system is interrupted by two stationary turning stations 5 , 6 , with the result that there is an entry portion 4 a , an intermediate portion 4 b and an exit portion 4 c of the transport system 4 in the region of the dip tank 2 .
  • skids as illustrated in more detail in FIGS. 10 to 12 .
  • Skids as such are known for the transport of vehicle bodies. They are generally distinguished by the fact that they have two parallel runners 8 , 9 which are fastened to a basic frame and cooperate with a known conveying system, frequently roller conveyor systems, in regions of the automotive manufacture beyond the system described here. So that the skid 7 described here can also be used in these other regions, it too has runners 8 , 9 of this kind. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated, these runners 8 , 9 are connected to one another by five struts 10 that run perpendicular thereto and in the present case form the basic frame 30 .
  • the skid 7 illustrated here has a fastening device 11 which can move in relation to the basic frame 30 .
  • This fastening device 11 includes a rectangular frame 12 which forms a retaining structure on which the vehicle body 3 may be fastened using conventional fastening means, in known manner. This is illustrated in FIG. 9 .
  • the frame 12 is connected to the basic frame by way of four pivotal arms 13 , in the manner of a parallelogram guide. Two of these pivotal arms 13 are mounted on the trailing end, as seen in the direction of movement, of the frame 12 in articulated manner and are connected in articulated manner at their opposite ends to the strut 10 of the basic frame 30 which is the furthest to the left as seen in FIG. 12 . Two more of these pivotal arms 13 are similarly laid in articulated manner between the leading region, as seen in the direction of movement, of the frame 12 and the middle strut 10 .
  • the overall arrangement is that when the pivotal arms 13 pivot, the frame 12 of the fastening device can move parallel to itself and perpendicular to the basic frame 30 , a certain translational movement of the frame 12 naturally being associated with this pivotal movement.
  • rollers 14 are mounted on the outwardly pointing side faces of the runners 8 , 9 .
  • Both turning stations 5 , 6 are in principle constructed in the same way, with the result that a description referring to FIGS. 3 to 8 and 13 of the construction and operation of the turning station 5 that is on the left in FIGS. 1 and 2 , which serves to dip the vehicle bodies 3 in the paint in the dip tank 2 , is sufficient.
  • a turning station 5 The construction of a turning station 5 is relatively simple. It includes two short rotational axes 17 which are flush and extend transversely to the direction of conveying (cf. in particular FIG. 5 ) and are mounted on either side of the dip tank 2 in bearing blocks 18 , as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the bearing blocks 18 are fastened to a steel construction 19 which in particular also carries the entire transport system 4 .
  • Each rotational axle 17 is connected to a guide rail 20 such that it cannot rotate in relation to the guide rail 20 , which has a profile of this kind and is aligned with the direction of movement of the transport system 4 .
  • the two guide rails 20 are spaced from one another by an amount such that they can receive the runners 8 , 9 .
  • the rollers 14 on the runners 8 , 9 of the skid 7 run on the inner face of the guide rails 20 .
  • the gui- Both rotational axles 17 may be rotated synchronously with the aid of two geared motors 21 which are arranged on opposing sides of the dip tank 2 .
  • the two rotational axles 17 and the two guide rails 20 thus form an operational unit, here designated the turning platform 16 .
  • the two guide rails 20 could therefore also be rigidly connected to one another.
  • the embodiment of the turning platform 16 that is described has the advantage that there is space available in the central region between the axles 17 , which may be used in another way.
  • the portions 4 a , 4 b and 4 c of the transport system 4 are constructed as conventional roller conveyors. Movement of the vehicle bodies 3 onto the turning platforms 16 and away therefrom is brought about with the aid of a slide mechanism which is not illustrated in detail here and which acts on the skids 7 using chain-driven entraining means.
  • the guide rails 20 of the turning platforms 16 each have on their upper side a stop 22 .
  • the basic frame of the skids 7 also has, on opposing sides, stops 23 which project laterally outwards beyond the runners 8 , 9 such that they can cooperate with the stops 22 of the guide rails 20 of the turning platforms 16 .
  • the vehicle bodies 3 to be painted are conveyed in from the left, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 , with the aid of the entry portion 4 a of the transport system 4 . During this, they are mounted on the fastening device 11 , or to be more precise on the frame 12 thereof.
  • the parallelogram which is formed in side view by the frame 12 , the pivotal arms 13 and the basic frame 30 of the skid 7 is folded flat, as can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 10 .
  • the bodies 3 are thus conveyed over the transport system 4 at the minimum possible height.
  • the slide system which is mentioned above but not illustrated takes over further transport of the skid 7 carrying the vehicle body 3 and pushes it onto the turning platform 16 of this turning station 5 .
  • the runners 8 , 9 of the skid 7 are introduced into the guide rails 20 of the turning platform 16 ; at the same time, the rollers 14 on the outer sides of the runners 8 , 9 run on the inside of the guide rails 20 .
  • the skid 7 with the vehicle body 3 fastened thereon, is pushed onto the turning platform 16 until the stops 23 on the skid 7 come into abutment against the stops 22 on the turning platform 16 . Then, if necessary, the skid 7 may be locked on the turning platform 16 in a suitable manner.
  • the condition illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 has now been reached.
  • the vehicle body 3 may remain in the dipped position (rotational angle of 180°) for a certain time, as desired. Sooner or later it and the skid 7 carrying it are pushed, in the suspended position, onto the intermediate portion 4 b of the transport system 4 with the aid of a similar slide mechanism. There it is now moved on in conventional manner, moving through the paint in the dip tank 2 . Because of the viscosity of this paint, the parallelogram between the frame 12 and the basic frame 30 of the skid 7 will adopt a somewhat oblique position, as can be seen from the part of the figure in the centre of the bottom row of FIG. 13 .
  • the vehicle body 3 Once the vehicle body 3 has passed through the intermediate portion 4 b of the transport system 4 in this suspended position, it is pushed onto the turning platform 16 of the second turning station 6 , again with the aid of a slide mechanism.
  • the turning platform 16 of this second turning station 6 is now turned, with the aid of the associated geared motors 21 , in opposition to the direction of turning in the first turning station 5 , that is to say anticlockwise.
  • the vehicle body 3 Once the vehicle body 3 has regained its substantially horizontal position, raised from dipping, on the turning platform 16 of the second turning station 6 , it can be pushed, with the aid of a further slide mechanism which is not illustrated, onto the exit portion 4 c of the transport system 4 and there transported on in conventional manner.
  • Various other treatment stations which also have dip tanks filled with certain treatment liquids and through which the vehicle bodies 3 are guided in the same way as was described above for the electrophoretic dip tank may be placed upstream and downstream of the described part of a dip coating system 1 .
